(laughter) but let's say somebody was there and -- and they wanted to destroy this nation. what would you do? let me tell you what i would do. first of all, i would create division among the people. i would have everybody pitted against each other because a wise man by the name of jesus once said a house divided against itself cannot stand. and then i would encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country. and then i would undermine the financial stability of the country and drive it so far into debt that there was absolutely no chance that it would cover and i would weaken the military and destroy the morale of the military. it appears, coincidentally

that those are the very things that are happening right now and the question is how do we stop it? >> all right. that was the moment there, where he said if i were to somehow magically find myself into the white house and everybody broke into applause and his fans hopes he magically finds himself in the the white house. and the political system we would be in a new era if somebody from outside the political system. i guess, herman cain he was outside and he ran. >> cpac is sort of a place for that and go through the party structure and running and having a deal with all that we saw during the the primary season. and it's a difficult road. >> tucker: as long as you don't meltdown, as long as we don't discover disqualifying about you and often that does happen unfortunately to good candidates, but if that doesn't happen in the internet age with the frustration you're witnessing on both

sides of the party structure, ross perot got that percent after melting down. >> ben carson running for president, he would have been lifted off the stage and brought to pennsylvania avenue. >> alisyn: it still could happen. we luckily have three and a half more years. >> clayton: now 105 days until he retires. more on that on the show. first let's check with maria molina on this st. patrick's day-- do people barbecue on st. patrick's day. >> i'm sure if you're in florida you could, right. >> clayton: not snowing. >> tucker: we're going to barbecue here this morning. >> clayton: it's snowing here. >> speaking of snow we have snow in areas in ohio, indiana and also in illinois and we will be seeing some of that white stuff across sections of the country and a brand new system across the north

central section of the united states and a snow we'll track the next several days because it's headed to the northeast and monday night into tuesday morning we could be seeing snow across southern parts of new england, new york city and also pennsylvania. so the northeast brings more snow coming your way. right now again, that snow coming out across missouri and as far east asoo. on the other side of that system, accumulations should remain light. not a huge story, be careful on the roadways. we have blizzard watches and warnings across minnesota, sections of south and north dakota, talking easily over six inches possible and wind gusts up to 20 or 30 miles per hour and on the southern side of the system. severe weather, tornados, damaging wind gusts and large hail across little rock and also into memphis. we'll keep an eye on this stuff. otherwise, back to you guys. >> alisyn: thank you. >> clayton: coming up on the show the country's top spy

of them. remember the ripping off of dvd's and china was selling them on the streets. they said we're going to clamp down on copy right. and the name hackers, it bothers me, i think of somebody trying to get a bank account or information like that or trying to drive up traffic on a website, but they're trying to get state secrets. that doesn't sound to me like hackers. >> not only are they spies, but they're saboteurs going after critical infrastructure. the great 2003 blackout in the northeast, probably caused by a chinese hacker causing a cascade and a loss of power. and americans died in that. this is a serious issue. it's not just spying or hacking. >> during the heatwave we had folks dieing, the elderly. they're going off certain

agencies and we know that microsoft has been infiltrated, apple has been looked at and google has pulled out of china in part because of this. what are they going after? >> they're going after everything, not just the national security establishment. they're going after companies for information so that their state enterprises can better compete against us. going after critical infrastructure and also the institutions of a free society. ngo's, charities, advocacy groups. the free press, new york times, wall street journal. >> clayton: quickly what can we do? >> use our economic leverage against the chinese. they had the biggest surplus against us. and chinese's merchandise trade surplus against the u.s. was 136.3% of the overall surplus. that gives us enormous leverage if we care to use it. >> clayton: thanks so much for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up on the show. how to fight the battle of the

diet. >> you say you were struck when listening to colin powell, i think this can apply to dieting. don't be buffaloed by experts and elites, they often possess more than data. and as soon as they're nicked by the real world. how does this apply to dieting? >> you know, there are a lot of experts out there and they have all of their different ways of dieting and there are a number of food diets, we're eating calories, next day eating eggs, next day eating meat. diets don't work and winston churchill said, lies travel faster than the truth any day around the world. and that's true. we jump on that band wagon to stay on for ten minutes and we all fail at it. what i'm saying is develop your life. dieting and success in dieting

like anything else comes from inside out. create a life you're proud of, engage, engage people. do things that make you feel whole and then you're more apt to be successful when you go to choose a diet and i don't say what diet to choose. you know, that's something that you go to your doctor and you sit with him and you learn about the diets, but whatever you choose you mold it to your life. >> tucker: yes, here is a quote that resonates deeply true in my view. organizational charts and fancy titles count for next to nothing. and how does that apply to dieting? >> well, i use the example there of even marilyn monroe. she basically came on to the scene and took the country over and you know, in reality who was marilyn monroe? a girl that came in and literally, she exploded onto

the scene. the reality, she felt-- internally felt sex appeal, comes from confidence. so it doesn't matter what you title it, it matters what you put into your life and how you feel about yourself. >> alisyn: the very last one is important i think for everyone. perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. something that colin powell said, the message is have an optimistic outlook. >> and i use in that one. what i do with each chapter, i underscore each chapter with a leader, whether a cultural or an industry leader and this would transcend everything. and i use henry ford. what did he do? he was an optimistic person. he went and created the automobile. now, how crazy would that have been. sit down, here i'm going to make everybody -- but he was optimistic, so that joy and happiness, created the car and

who, who are we going to serve? who is our product, our service and retailing experience designed for? what happened, they've just lost a lot of shoppers. >> alisyn: so basically it's about vision. anybody who's going to be successful in a company, in the business world or really any world, you have to have a vision for what your success looks like. >> and you ultimately have to make choices and choose to serve these customers and not to serve these other customers. >> alisyn: the book is climbing up the best seller list. it's a great one, "playing to win how strategy really works". thank you for appearing with us. >> thank you. >> clayton: thanks, ali. remember those kids who begged the president not to cancel the field trip to the white house? well, they just went. did they make it inside or standing outside the gates? we'll find out. the incredible story of a sky diver who survived this parachute crash. unbelievable.

parachute open and at one point the flag tangled with my equipment and caused the parachute to malfunction. once i got the flag released and was working with that, i realized my main parachute wouldn't release and at some point i had to fire my reserve parachute into my main and ride it in way. >> alisyn: craig, we're watching your almost freefall here. what was going through your head? >> that if i survived at all i was probably not going to be doing anything fun for a long, long time. >> clayton: you hit at 30 miles per hour, we said. how do you only walk away with minor injuries. legs break, anything like that? >> no, actually i literally have no broken bones. a lot of bruises and getting colorful now, but training, you fall back on the training to do a parachute landing fall and roll through the impact

and wear a helmet and i happened to land in the softest plowed field anywhere around we're jumping. >> clayton: we should say you're a professional. how many jumps down you have under your belt. >> just over 7,000 jumps. >> clayton: the first time it happened? >> absolutely and hope it's the last. >> tucker: so this happens. you could have landed in a parking lot on a telephone pole, but you land in a freshly plowed field or earth. and how has it affected your life? >> i haven't gone to church yet. i haven't bought lottery tickets i find of feel the bag of luck was empty, but i enjoyed the sunrise the next morning, it was a nice one. >> alisyn: and this only happened last sunday and haven't had a chance to go to church yet, but you, i mean, other people who love skydiving, a lot of people on our staff have done this. is it risky or something, you just had a bad string of luck,

all happened at once? >> it's a number of things. one, it's a very complex jump and both katie and i together have over 10,000 sky dives. so we knew we were taking on a risky jump and things that could create a problem and it's not your normal jump. if somebody does a tandem they're not exposed to this danger at all. we knew we were taking on more risk than the average skydive. >> clayton: any lessons you take away, anything you impart to your fellow skydivers from your experience. >> i tell somebody, don't give up no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how bad it looks, you've got it to keep fighting all the way to the ground and fighting for your life. >> clayton: others say get back on the horse. and you say just jump again.

>> just jump. >> tucker: and air going to jump again. >> i was hoping today, but next week. >> take a little time. >> alisyn: love it. thank you for sharing your story. >> tucker: why is it costing millions to send them to a conference in california. can you get invited. >> alisyn: and these children begged to let them take the trip to the white house. did they make it in time? ♪ what's droid-smart ? with google now, it automatically knows when you need to leave for the airport, how much traffic there is, and can have your boarding pass ready. the droid razr maxx hd by motorola.

it killed a 68-year-old man and a 14-year-old who is reportedly the driver's cousin. we do this for fun on the weekends. it's a racing community and racing tragedy happens, we never know when it's going to happen and our hearts go out to the families. >> alisyn: the driver was not hurt. all proceeds from the race are being donated to the victims' families. and police in pennsylvania are investigating what caused a bus to crash, killing a pregnant coach and the driver. the lacrosse team was headed to the game when the bus veered off the road and hit a try. the driver died and head coach christina quigley died at the hospital and she was six months pregnant. her unborn child also has killed and a memorial tonight. a missing iditarod dog was

found. nine-year-old may got lost when her sled team got tangled with another. she got loose and walked for seven days in the freezing cold, eating scraps, apparently left by other race teams. after about 400 miles of wandering, she was picked up by three people just 40 miles from where the race started and 50 miles from her home. she's being taken care of by a neighbor until she's returned to other owners today. >> clayton: wow. >> alisyn: remember the adorable students whose dreams of visiting the white house were dashed. >> the white house is our house. please let us visit. >> alisyn: well, st. paul's luthren church school in iowa went to the white house holding out hope they would be let in. unfortunately, students only made it to the gates. the students did get a very special tour of the capitol which is still open. house speaker john boehner let them view the national mall from his balcony and tour both chambers and the white house

says the secret service closed the people's house because of the sequester, but other people say the president who made the call so those kids were out of luck. >> clayton: how could you turn down kids yelling at the gate to let us in. >> tucker: because you have to pay your food taster and. >> clayton: easter egg roll. >> tucker: dog walker and the rest. >> clayton: and let's turn to cpac, wrapped up yesterday or today-- yesterday. and we had the straw poll to sort of read the tea leaves how the party will vote going forward and perhaps the next election and the straw poll results of those who gave speeches there, you don't actually need to attend to be included in the straw poll, i don't think. rand paul, the slight winner over marco rubio. >> tucker: that's right. chris christie by the way did not go to cpac. >> alisyn: wasn't-- >> rand paul, the choice for

people under 30. buttons and pins, "i stand with rand" they read. huge among libertarians. >> alisyn: and marco rubio considered an up and coming star, neck and neck with rand paul. tucker, the straw poll, do it have any bearing on who becomes the party's forerunner later. >> tucker: it has no predictive value and meaningless, but it's interesting, these are the most activity members of the conservative movement. this is the republican primary electorate, people who get out and caucus in iowa, new hampshire and the early primary states. so it does matter. it does give you some flavor for what the fields might look like. >> clayton: historically if you look at the straw poll results. they're not, as tucker pointed out, indicators of future candidates or winners, but for instance, mitt romney was a straw poll winner in the past and ron paul became a strong

independent or libertarian candidate for president and rudy guiliani, and past winners, michele bachmann. they did not go on to be president, but popular at the gathering. >> tucker: you want to look at the republican debates, look at the cpac lineup, pretty accurate. >> alisyn: and dr. ben carson in the limelight after the national prayer breakfast,' he gave his vision before the president. he was a huge hit and got rousing standing ovation from the podium there and he made a-- possibly a slip or a joke about running for the white house. let's listen to dr. carson. >> it's almost laughable some of the things i hear people say to criticize me, he's a neuro surgeon, he couldn't know anything about economics. it's not brain surgery. i can tell you this much, even as a local brain surgeon, if

you have the highest corporate tax rates in the world, then of course corporations are going to have money elsewhere. corporations are not in business to be social welfare organizations. they are there to make money and a wise government knows how to use that to their advantage. >> alisyn: all right. what i was referring to, a little slip was during a different part of the speech if i were to magically find myself in the white house. and everybody erupted into the white house-- if someone were to magically find themselves in the white house. >> clayton: counting down the days until he retires, 106 days until he retires from the medical field and today it's 105 days he knows, he has the countdown clock. what is he going to do. >> tucker: here is what what we know, he's smart, a great speaker, unafraid and we know

that, and if there's ever a moment an independent candidate might get traction, ever a moment where the grass roots rise up and basically draft someone for president, it's this moment. they're frustrated with republican leadership. was it this moment, or the moment a few years ago when we saw the rise of the tea party and saw the likes of herman cain and sarah palin and saw what happened. >> tucker: i think it's much easier to raise money than it's ever been for a potential candidate like this. you have the internet. and people can mount challenges to the infrastructure and ross perot did, but they can do it much, much faster. and i think the path is clearer than it's ever been. >> alisyn: and the idea that philosophically people don't like politicians, they don't like capitol hill, they don't like the washington d.c.

machinery and structure. so the idea, people like romantically the idea of an outsider and maybe it just might work or when bush comes to shove do you need to work your way up. >> tucker: what is going on now is clearly not working and i was at cpac for two days, you didn't see speaker after speaker stand up and point to the republican congress as a success story. there are a lot of people hungry, so this could be the season. >> clayton: and those whose names go along with a particular budget maybe voting for particular tax increases come election time, you have the insurgent, you know, independent candidates and this gentleman in my party voted to raise taxes this year. they're worried about the taint of those votes going forward, too. and who can emerge who doesn't have the taint of congress to run. like ross perot. although it helps to have a couple billion in the bank.

>> tucker: it does. >> alisyn: and ben carson rose at the national prayer breakfast, and somebody willing to take the risks and possibly have an uncomfortable moment with the president next to them. he seemed unafraid to do that. >> tucker: the lesson may be, the people who stand up and say it loud and proud and bold in explaining their ideas not just their feelings, i'm mad at this person, that person, there's a huge market for that. >> alisyn: well, maria molina is going to tell us what she believes about the national weather? >> i believe it's very chilly in new york city, a little unusual especially for this time of the year. it's going to be spring next week, coming up on wednesday and we're talking about temperatures, ten degrees below the average across sections of the northeast and sections of the midwest. and we're looking at cold temperatures today not making it out of the 20's and it will be a cold day for you, for st.

8% cuts to our individual budgets and no one has ever contemplated or even suggested that he we were going to close down the capitol visitors center or the beautiful office buildings that you know we're just passing through they're owned by the people. so i said to the president why don't you take it out of our hide if you have to have additional funds. you don't have to invite members of congress over to the white house christmas party or the white house picnic or other events. there has to be a way to make sure that the people's house, the white house is open to the american people because certainly closing the white house is a very negative symbol. >> alisyn: what was the president's response to your suggestion? >> i don't think he liked me asking the question to begin with, but his answer was it was up to the secret service, that's why they had to close it. and you know, really, his own press secretary jay carney sort of debunked that all he though it's an ever evolving story who has made the determination here, but basically jay carney said the

secret service gave the white house several options and then the white house decided they would close the tour. so, i don't know whether the president thought it was okay for him to throw the secret service under the the bus. the secret service is there to protect the president. they don't make those kinds of decisions. i mean, if the secret service said, you know, they might not be able to protect the president when he went golfing, would he stop golfing? not to be-- but seriously, they're there to protect him and there are other things, i think, that they could do and keep the white house open. there are some things so incredibly symbolic for our country. keeping the white house open is i think, very, very important. >> alisyn: congresswoman candice miller, thank you for coming in and sharing that conversation with us. >> thank you. >> clayton: from presidents to popes to "fox & friends," iri irish tenor, roanen tinen next.

graham angle to the story and said there's no white house coverup. no movement to keep the survivors quiet. yesterday we had mike huckabee on the show and let us know last night he would be talking to senator lindsey graham on the show to get him to elaborate on the story and he did. >> you've got to remember this administration leaked every detail of the bin laden raid. they told us about the pakistani doctor who helped, who is now in jail. they told us about seal team six. they're refusing to give us the identity of the survivors and allow them to come to congress to be interviewed. i will do one of two things. i'm going to write a letter to the secretary of state asking him to voluntarily release the names of the survivors to congress, urge my house members to subpoena the survivors. they have that power, if we don't as senate republicans, i'm going to hold up the business of the senate until we get the survivors on

a difference, the republicans more than twice as big as the democrats and it's all spending cuts and the democrats have, you see 1.85 trillion and half of that, almost a trillion dollars is in tax increases. so, you know, yes, they're both on the board. they both are going to present budgets. they'll each pass their own house and they'll go to conference and that's helpful. sort of what's called regular order where both sides actually go to the legislative process, but it's going to take a leap to get from where they are now to where they need to be and obviously, as before, the answer you're probably going to need a mix of some tax increases and some considerable entitlement reforms and cuts, whether each side is willing to go there we'll wait and see. >> what's your take on cpac having watched the past couple days. it seems that the they break into the libertarian side and

>> 45 minutes after the hour, time for quick headlines. he carried out the 1982 terrorist attacks on the pan am flight to hawaii leaving a japanese teenager dead. but in three days rasheed will be released from prison. authorities say he's released because he cooperated on other terror investigations and russian president vladimir putin teaming up with action movie star steven seagal and opening a martial arts center outside of moscow. putin says he wants to make sure that russians kids are healthy and can defend themselves. >> tucker: thank you. talk about long distance, a free cell phone program for americans is coming under intense scrutiny after some of those were sent to people no longer alive. you're paying for it. and arkansas congressman is pushing the government give away and joins us from little rock. thank you for joining us.

an audit shows that over 40% of the people receiving the phones don't qualify to get them. who is overseeing it or not overseeing it? >> the sec it, tucker, but you've got to ask yourself now that we're trying to address the waste, why didn't they come up with a plan in the first place. and even if you address a lot of the waste in this program, which has not been done you still have the issue of should the government be providing cell phones to people when you can get a cell phone with limited coverage on a by-minute fee, which is pretty cheap, and then it raises the question, where do we draw the line. should we give out ipads? it would be nice if everybody had an ipad, but i don't believe that's the role of government. >> tucker: now that you suggested ipads i'm sure that will be in the president's next state of the union address.

i'm going to put up on the screen some real costs. it went from 819 million in 2008. it has ballooned to 2.2 billion last year, pretty unbelievable. so you want, as i understand it, not necessarily to end the program right away, but to rein in some of the fraud. >> what i want to do is take the lifeline program back to what it was before the cell phones were added. what that means is these folks that are eligible can get a landline. you did not have much waste, fraud and abuse when it was just landlines. obviously, people weren't interested in having ten, 20 landlines in their home the way they are having ten, 20 cell phones. and so lmy proposal would kill the cell phone portion of it it. so if you're really shut in, you can still get a landline and so, that will eliminate most of the waste that we're

seeing. in arkansas alone, we were under 3 million dollars for this program about five years ago. and now, under the cell phones program it's gun to 56 million. from under 3 million to 56 million dollars just in arkansas. >> tucker: that's unbelievable. >> and a lot of this, tucker, is really what we hear about. we hear people talk about corporate welfare, crony capitalism. sure there are some people being helped because it's convenient to have a cell phone, certainly. but let me tell you who is really benefitting from this. it's trac phone and some of the corporations. >> tucker: well of course it is and be interesting to check the donor records there. be interesting to see who opposes this. need to unburden yourself? you don't need to go to c

confessi confession, go to the apology line. >> and you've reached the apology line, and to people you need to apologize. not to the state, not to the god. >> tucker: and more about the sun and sand, and we'll show you family vacations everyone in your home can agree on. ♪ i want to get away ♪ ♪ i want to fly away ♪ congratulations. thoseoo.

happy st. patrick's day here's what's happening at this hour. a straw poll squeaker at cpac. two rising stars at the republican party come in neck and neck. how much does it mean? we look at past winners. the speaker who may have made a surprise announcement. dana perino will give us her thoughts on it. and another benghazi bombshell. one senator said the survivors of that horrible day are now being silenced. he knows this, he says, because they told him so. hear from him straight ahead. plus, we're celebrating st. patrick's day with the world renowned cel celtic thunder. they're here this morning. i want to get a closer look at them right now. "fox & friends" hour four starts right now. happy st. patrick's day. welcome back, everybody.

we're having a lost festive fun here, and we want to show you a live look at the festival in spain every day at 2:00 in the afternoon. there is a fair works display at the plaza. >> you nailed that one. >> it's an event called la mascaleta. this is friendly competition between neighborhoods about who can come up with the most impressive finale. >> it's amazing. to be like the las fafallas correspondence. you have been too vote to be vo. to go to the new york city st. patty's day you need to show up in gree green. >> or not. >> look at this.

two tthey're not waking up the . >> i wish we were in valencia, spain. >> eating tapas. >> for the next festival, we're going on the run. here are your headlines. we have a fox news alert for you now. iranian state tv is reporting that the country has launched a domestically made destroyer in the casspian sea. president ahmadinejad was on hand to inaugurate the ship. this is iran's first heavy military presence in the casspian see which is coveted for its oil reserves. meanwhile, police in pennsylvania are investigating what caused a horrible bus crash, killing a pregnant college coach and the driver. the seton hall university woman's lacrosse team was headed to a game saturday when the bus veered off the road and hit a tree.

the driver died at the scene, and the head coach died at the hospital. she was six months pregnant. her unborn child died. a memorial mass will be held on campus in her memory tonight. the rising stars in the g.o.p. had one on top. rand paul beat missour marco rug back yo. sarah palin took a few jobs at mayor bloomberg's battle against soda. >> oh, bloomberg's not around. our big gulp is safe. we're cool. dude, it's just pop with low cal use cubes in it. >> a judge overturned the soda ban the day before it was going to take effect in new york city. we're hours away from finding

out what's going on in sports. >> in the ncaa tournament, on selection sunday, of course, one team guaranteeing themselves in a spot in the big dance. louisville, the cardinals trailing syracuse by as much as 16 in the big east final, but they would rally and end up winning by 17. a 33-point turnaround. can you believe that? some other big wins. oregon beating ucla to claim the pac 12 title and kansas beating up on kansas state to win the big 12 selection sunday. get your brackets ready. it's going to be crazy around here. no betting allowed, of course, in the office pool environment. that will never happen, right? >> a tumble weed just rolled by. >> everyone just walked away. >> we actually have news in the benghazi story. this has been unfolding over the last couple of days. of course, it's been unfolding since september 11th when the tragedy took place. lindsey graham of south carolina dropped a bombshell on the political world yesterday when he said yes, the survivors have

talked to him, a number of them, and they indeed have been instructed to be quiet by someone in the obama administration. >> that someone is fascinating, right. who in the administration, the state department came forth and told survivors not to speak? according to senator lindsey graham, it must be happening. that's why we haven't heard from them. when we hear from them, their stories are chilling and they're scared. he spoke to huckabee last night on huckabee's show to get more information out to the public. listen to the senator. >> you've gotta remember. this administration leaked every detail of the bin laden raid. they told us about the pakistani doctor who helped who is now jail. they told us about seal team 6. they're refusing to give us the identity of the survivors and allow them to come to congress to be interviewed. i will do one of two things. i'm going to write a letter to the secretary of state asking him to voluntarily release the name of the survivors to congress, urge my house members to esp subpoena them, but i'll d

up the business of the senate until we get the survivors on record. i've talked to a couple and their story is chilling. they're scared to death to come forward without some institutional support. >> meanwhile, the white house preas secretary jay carney said that no one in the white house has bullied them or told them to be silent whatsoever, so now there are certainly people in congress who want more information. lindsey graham being just one. congressman frank wolf has called for a select committee for more answers and to get access to these survivors. we know a little more thanks to the great reporting of catherine herridge and james rosen in washington about their injuries. one of them had a very serious head injury. others had smoke inhalation, others were in the hospital for days, so it's just coming out in dribs and drabs of who the other survivors were, and also that there were 37 americans in benghazi who could have been witnesses. >> this is a turning point.

mark your calendar. this weekend is when the benghazi story changed. for the past number of months fox has been pursuing the story relentless. everyone has been ignoring it. secretary of state hillary clinton said it doesn't matter what happened. now it turns out there were actual people who will appear before congress, and i hope on this network, and explain exactly what happened because in fact, details are significant. it does matter. >> hillary clinton said it doesn't matter what susan rice said. that's what she was saying. what does it matter what susan rice said, it doesn't matter that christopher stephens was killed. >> she said the details don't matter, who cares, they're dead. does it really matter what the chain of events subsequent to that was? it always matters what the details were. >> it doesn't happen again. we can learn from history. more on that on the fox newschannel. likely not to see it other places. let's go to maria molina for a check of your forecast. still freezing, not spring yet. spring is coming up on wednesday, but still not feeling like it across new york city,

the great lakes, or even across the midwest and one more place is in du dublin, ireland where e st. patrick's day parade is going on now. light showers moving through. you can see the festivities. temperatures are actually in the 40s during the nighttime hours. relatively cool and cloudy and also a little bit on the foggy side. now, we do actually have a brand new storm that's developing across sections of the north central u.s. ahead of it we actually have snow coming down across states like west virginia, ohio, indiana, as far west as kansas. a pretty widespread area dealing with snow and sleet and rain mixing in. as we head northward where the actual area of low pressure develops in the dakotas and minnesota, we have blizzard watches and winter storm warnings in effect. over six inches of snow will fall and wind gusts in excess of 30 miles per hour will be possible.

south of that we have a severe threat, little rock, memphis, heads up. you could see strong thunderstorms rolling through later on this afternoon into tonight. >> thanks so much, maria. dublin looks fun. if you have a confession, typically and perhaps if you're a catholic you would go to church and you would confess, right? you would he go to confession. you don't have to worry about that any more. a guy in brooklyn has taken care of it for you by setting up his very own hotline. you can sit at home and get on the phone and call. it's the apology hotline. >> it's not just for people who don't feel like going to church. it's for criminals, both blue collar and white collar. anyone, if you feel that you have wronged people and you for whatever reason can't call them, you can call. he calls himself mr. apology, and you can call and apologize to his hotline. let's levin to it. >> i have a lot of apologies to make up. >> you have reached the apology line. you have wronged people. it's to people that you must aenergize, not to the state or to god. it's a way to provide people to

apologize for their wrongs without people jeopardizing themselves. it'do not identify yourself. apology is not associated with any police, government, religious, or other organization. when you call, you will be armed with a tape recorder. leave your apology after the tone. >> i'd like to apologize this morning for eating allyson's breakfast without her knowing about it. >> i did know about it. >> does that get you off the phone? >> the idea is to apologize with a human being. >> what do they do with the tape. >> the deeper question is buy does this exist and why do people feel the need to unburden themselves? it's a natural human thing. i think people know they've done things wrong and they need to get it off their chest. >> i do think it's a burden to carry it around. i think you need to go to the person who is the aggrieved party. >> do you feel better about yourself by calling a hotline? >> it's a symbolic gesture i.

would say. plobsay. >> they get it off their chest. >> the voice on the hotline is forebodying. >> it's not a soothing voice. coming up on the show, first he stole the president's spotlight at the prayer breakfast. now he wants the president's job, perhaps. >> if you just -- let's say you imaginely put me, you know -- magically put me, you know, into the white house. >> magically. >> dr. ben carson ready for politics? we asked our own little leprechaun, dana perino. she's bringing her pot of gold with her. blame the poor sales of hot wheels, remember those model cars, on moms? that's the advice the president of ma tel mattel says. this is the colorado state marching band in dublin right now. enjoy.

those are the very things that are happening right now. >> that, of course, was dr. ben carson speaking at cpac. to be clear, he was talking about what the obama administration has done. he said he's done with medicine and he jokes about a potential white house bid. was he joking? should he be joking? joining us now, co host of the five and one of our all time favorite people, dana perino joins us now. >> thank you. >> does he have a future in politics? >> if he wants one, certainly. it's bold to think that you can come out of any sort of private sector experience and then all of a sudden be catapulted into the white house. that can happen, but it is a little bit difficult because the reason people are reluctant to get into politics in the first place sometimes when you look at how daunting it is to do the organization. if you look at what organizing for action is doing right now, this is president obama's sort of lobbying arm. they are collecting, well, $500,000 from people who want to meet with him quarterly but also all of the contacts, all of the

information of all the people that have supported him in the past, and that organization is really moving forward. dr. ben carson is such a breath of fresh air. he's subtle, except he also does something that a friend of mine e-mailed me yesterday and said he makes my heart sing, and i've been hearing this for a few different people that they maybe want something a little bit that's fresher. he doesn't speak in political speak. he doesn't have poll tested rhetoric that he uses. he speaks from the heart and people really like that, but if he is serious about moving forward with a bid, then i think someone needs to help get him thinking through some of the issues and also getting organized because it is a huge undertaking. remember, president obama raised almost a billion dollars to run in 2012. raising a billion dollars, that doesn't come without a lot of organization. >> i suspect dr. carson is getting a lot of e-mails from consultants. >> a lot of consultants got a bad rap at c pac. some of it deserved, but we have to on the republican side, on either party, you have to have

great candidates and great candidates should pick good consultants. >> i agree. there's a panel on shooting consultants. former vice-president dick cheney subject of a new documentary, books, articles, much hostility with the conventional press. the obsession with cheney, where does it come from? >> that's always been interesting to me. i'm different from a lot of people in that i had permanent experience with him, working with him and observing him and answering questions about him all the time. there's no one that the media and the left like to put on the couch more than dick cheney. they seem to think he's evil. they don't really respect his public service. they hate his corporate experience, and then the one thing they will give him is that he's nice to his family. i think all of that is erased by some of the more evil things he supposedly has done. it's just not my experience with him. they're doing a documentary about him, and it's all about different people, their thoughts about dick cheney. the criticism from the left will

always be no matter what he says that until he says i made a mistake and i ruined everything, they will never be satisfied. dick cheney is never going to say that. >> they may not get to hear that from him. >> no, probably not. >> here's a clip from the domry you just mentioned -- the documentary you just mentioned. >> what's your favorite virtue? >> integrity. >> what do you appreciate most in your friends? >> honesty. >> i did what i did. it's all on the public record. i feel very good about it. if i had to do it over again, i'd do it in a minute. >> we should point out one of the most talented fly fisherman in american. >> during the white house years, he and lynn cheney would invite wounded warriors from walter reed for night out. they would hire a country music band and have a barbecue and everybody could get there and

relax. he never once invited the press. >> he truly doesn't care what the press thinks about him. >> i love that. >> dana perino, thanks so much. the post office is broke and cutting saturday delivery as you know. why is it at the same time spending millions to send managers to a conference in california and were you invited? of course you weren't. plus, he's one lucky dog. his name is joey. he was thrown out of a car and left to die, but with some luck and a lot of love, he's here to celebrate st. patrick's day with us. he's up next.

happy st. patrick's day. 23 minutes now past the hour. am i green, or is that just this camera? this is missouri lucky st. patrick's day dog. united airlines accidently shipped this family pooch to ireland. the 6-year-old was supposed to fly from newark to phoenix, but he was sent to ireland instead. i wouldn't complain. the airline quickly put hendricks on a return flight home. his owner said someone should be fired for that offense. the post i can'al service mt saturday delivery to save money but the broke agency is spending $2.2 million to send 400 workers to a conference in california that includes a dinner dance and a golf tournament. sounds nice. ali and tucker? all right. on a sit patrick's day you hear a lot about the luck of the yiesh. luck is on this dog' dog's sidet least after suffering a harrowing ordeal. in august 3-month-old joey was thrown from a car in a plastic

bag. all four of his limbs were paralyzed. vets feared he would never walk again. >> today this lucky dog isn't just walking, he is running. joey is here with his owner an the vet who helped save him. doctor, this is really a cool looking dog. you would never know how far he's come ever. >> yeah. i never expected him to come this far, to be honest with you. he's done amazing. >> what a nice dog. how does he have such a sweet temperament. he's been through all this suffering and he doesn't seem jumpy. >> he's been in a great environment since, surrounded by a lot of people who care about him. he's balanced out really nicely. >> let's just tell the viewers who may have missed the back story on joey that you found him. i mean, he had been thrown out of a car, treated obviously horribly. he only had a 50-50% chance of surviving back then. you didn't know if he would be able to walk. tell us how far he's come and what he's doing now. >> i mean, he runs with me now, and i never expected that

result, but he runs with me. we go for long hikes together. he does everything a normal dog would do. >> how did it happen? how was he able to recover? >> he had a lot of president, a lot of physical therapy, and we slowly would start with just slow walks, short walks, and finally got him up to running with me, you know he. he can run about a mile, you know, and we'll get even further. we'll get even further. >> what does joey see back there that he's intrigued with? >> there's coffee back there. >> how is sel joey celebrating? we've had pictures of dogs and costumes. i didn't realize what a popular holiday it was with dogs. how is joey expressing his inner irishman. >> he's tried on every outfit in the green room. >> we've got a lot of them. >> he's a poser. he loves it. >> and you are the perfect person to be paired with joey because of your non-profit, healing haven animal and the fund.

tell us what it does. >> what it does is it provides funding for you are jeb urgent r animals in need, especially for strays off the street where they don't have any finances backing them, or if it's a pet whose owner iowners truly can't affore veterinary care. we want to give every animal that we can a chance. if we hadn't went to the media for him and found the money for him, he might not have had that chance. that's what healing haven animal fund is there for. as a veterinarian, it's very frustrating to have the skills to be able to fix them but have your hands tied by finances. that shouldn't be the case. >> there's a special place in heaven for you and people who look after dogs who have been as mistreated as joey was. good for you. >> that's beautiful. i will trea tweet out healing hn animal fund.org. thanks for being here. >> joey seems pretty relaxed.

>> i would say. coming up, if you're unemployed and rejected from a job, don't get mad, sue. a law now making this a reality. is that the right answer to our unemployment problems? we have some thoughts. remember those kids who begged the president not to cancel their field trip to the white house? well, they came to washington anyway. the question is, did they make it inside. we've got the answer coming up.

happy st. patty's day. you're looking live at the st. patrick's day parade from dublin, ireland. they invented the irish, yes? >> yes, they did. that's the wellspring from which all irishness flows. >> the water that flows from just north of dublin down to the guinness factory, if you ever get a chance to go take the little trip up there, it's only about 45 minutes north, that water, so fresh and pure. it goes down into the guinness factory in dublin. flows right down in there. >> are you now speaking with an irish accent. >> i am, aly. >> i think you are. three and a half hours of st. patrick's celebration turned you irish.

>> we'll get you the headlines. developing story to tell you about. you're about to see new video of the troubled carnival legend cruise ship. it pulled back into tampa a short time ago with more than 2500 passengers experiencing a disastrous week at sea. the ship was unable to reach full speed, had to eliminate two port stops on the seven-day tour. this th is the fourth carnival p in less than a month to experience problems. there's a missin missing i d dog that was found. he sled was tangled with another and may got loose and walked for seven days apparently in the freezing cold, and she survived by eating scraps left by other race teams. after about 400 miles of wandering, she was picked up by three people just 40 miles from where the race had begun and 50 miles from her home. may is being taking care of by a neighbor until she's reunited with her owners today. well, all they wanted to do was to visit the white house.

>> the white house is our house. please let us visit. >> all right. so saint paul's lutheran church kids, you know, they came from iowa. they did go to washington, dc yesterday, and they were holding out hope that they would be let into the white house, but unfortunately the students only made it to the gates. the students did get a very special tour of the capitol seen here live which is still open. house speaker john boehner let them few the national mall from his balcony and tour both chambers. the white house said the secret service made the call to close the people's house because of the sequester cuts. can you tell us what goes on in the barber shop, tucker. >> wouldn't you like to know. maybe time for a trim for the senate's barber shop. the i senate sergeant at arms hs been pushing a plan to privatize the government subsidized shop. why? it turns out the barber shop in

the senate lost $350,000 as it has for the last 15 years. the sequester cuts appear to be helping gainer's push. four employees of the senate barber shop have taken early retirement offers. the shop has cost taxpayers about 5.2 million dollars over the past 15 years. we asked what you thought, and here's what you said. chuck said i'd be more than happy to see the senate keep their free barber shop if on occasion they're forced to uphold the substitution and when they don't, they suffer the consequences. that sounds complicated, like a complicated deal, chuck. >> david says this needs to be privatized, period. plus, after some of the haircuts i've seen on those fellows sporting, the barbers are not very good. >> that is a good point. >> yeah, that is a good point. >> old shaky hands must be cutting their hair. >> edward sir sorehands. >> the salaries they receive are more than adequate to pay for personal grooming needs, perhaps if they had to spend their own money the way that we do, they'd balance the budget and be less

wasteful. >> being if. i mean, that's the point. normal people have to pay for everybody. >> they don't pay for your haircuts. >> i do. >> what about your shoe shine and your save. >> you don't have a taxpayer for that? >> at 3 in the morning, i have a person shave me. >> the complaint is they don't have time to get haircuts like the rest of us do. >> really? >> oh, my gosh. this is one of your favorite topics. >> so mattel, sales have been slumping, maybe point to the economy, maybe point to the kids playing video games, no. that's not what's going on here, according to mattel, and the ma tell vice-president invited a group of moms together for a focus group brunch to find out why moms don't know how to play with hot wheels with their sons. they basically want to blame moms for the sagging sales of hot wheels for young boys. they're just simply not buying the cars any more. could it be a shift in the things that kids are doing now? they want an ipad?

they want to play with avenger toys? they don't want to play with some die cast old car. >> it makes sense because sales have been slumping. what's changed in the past 20 years? now we have moms. >> oh, wait. >> moms that know nothing about cars? >> that's a new development. >> moms and moms who know nothing aboutr about cars. >> my son loves to play with cars. that's what he does all the time, so he has an entire array on a book shelf of all of his different precious hot wheels cars. that's what we get him. >> did you encourage him to buy the cars, or did he go to the toy aisle and target and say that's what he want. >> i did not have to encourage him. any time we're at cvs, he gravitates to the hot wheels section and says can you please get me this. >> bingo. why capture w can't we let kidsh what they want? allowing like certain screen

time, allowing them to sit blindly in front of a computer all day. >> the more logical explanation is ha that hot wheels are not sn on commercials. >> they're watching netflix which is commercial free. >> that's right. let's check in with maria molina and get the forecast on this st. patty's day. >> good morning. good to see you. it's going to be chilly in new york city. we actually have temperatures only in the low 30s, and the story across the rest of the northeast is that it's also going to be very similar to what we're seeing in new york city. so again, a very chilly start to your day. 29 over in cleveland and also in new york city, so it's gotten a little bit colder. factor in the breeze, and it feels even colder. 10 right now in minneapolis, and in the 60s in the city of dallas and also in san antonio. as we head into this afternoon, san antonio will actually be very warm. 88 degrees for your high temperature. again, almost 90, so very warm

before spring. 76 for the high in tampa. 33 in chicago and only 29 for your high in the city of minneapolis. you really need to bundle up across the midwest, the great lakes, and also into the northeast if you're headed outdoors this afternoon. if you live in little rock for memphis, heads up. you'll see thunderstorms later on today and some of these storms could actually produce severe weather in the form of isolated tornadoes. large hail or even damaging wind guftsdz in excesgusts in excessn hour. that's dangerous stuff. that will be generally during the afternoon and evening hours. north of that we actually have some snow to talk about across parts of ohio, the state of west virginia, and as far west as missouri and kansas. accumulations generally very light. maybe an inch or two. some rain will mix in as well and even some freezing rain, so be careful on the roads. north of that across parts of minnesota and the dakotas, a brand new storm system developing that will produce some heavy snow, and also some strong wind gusts, possibly in excess of 30 miles per hour. let's head indoors, clayton.

>> please come in and get warm. thank you, maria. new york is trying to earn the nanny state title. you can see employers in you've been rejected from a job. is this the answer for solving the unemployment. cheryl casone joins us to break it down. what's going on with this? >> so it was passed this week. it goes into effect in three months here in new york city, and basically if you interview for a job and you feel that you were discriminated against because you've been on the unemployment dole for longer than average, you can sue that company. i think the intention is very good, and the law, certainly. the problem is that employers, i believe, are going to hold back from bringing anyone into the office for an interview if they've got, say, six months or longer of a ima gap on the resé. that's one in three unemployed. that's a big swath of the population. i'm not sure it's goggles work. >> suing might not be the answer. for a lot of the country, it won't be the case. you have some tips for the long term unemployed starting with staying relevant. >> right. >> staying relevant to potential

employers? >> you need to stay relevant while -- don't just sit at home and eat ice cream and watch tv. watch "fox & friends". i'm fine with that, but you want to be, you know, volunteering. go to the aspca and volunteer in the office. say you're an accountant. go in there and help them with the books. they need that type of help in many organizations. that way you've got something going on on that resumé. you're filling the gap, but also you're getting out of the house. you're doing something. you're not just sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. >> when you meet with potential employers, you also say be honest. >> you've got to be honest about why there's a gap on your resumé. obviously it's very important to say i've got a specific job, i've got a specific field. it's been tough for me. i've interviewed for xyz positions and it hasn't happened. people that do sales and things like that, there's going to be that question of well, have you maintained your contacts. that's another thing you can do. maintain your contacts. keep those e-mails going to people you worked with in your previous job. that can help you when you need that network of people or customers in your new job, for

instance. >> you also utilize on line training. there's all kinds of great on line education free tough on itunes to paid stuff and kelby training. >> i had no idea there was something called itunes u. you would know that. on line courses are cheap and available. again, that's something that you can put in the fill space on the resumé. you've got an empty block of six months, nine months a year, but you say i've been going back to school, i'm training. make sure it's in the field relevant to you. a lot of people are using this time because we've got unemployment at 7.7% to go into aa new field. i always recommend jobs that can give you income. it may not be the dream job you want but it's something to get you by in the meantime. again, that goes in the resumé, so all of this, again, this law, i understand it, i think it's a good idea. what i think they should have done is what new jersey did. the state of new jersey is offering tax breaks to employers that will bring in long term

unemployed and hire them. that's a better option. we should say mayor bloomberg did veto this, but it didn't work. it's still going into effect, unfortunately. >> he vetoed the nanny move. >> even bloomberg who loves to tell us what to do in the city and how to live our lives didn't like this. he's a business guy. he would know. >> cheryl casone from the fox business network. great to see you as always. >> thank you. coming up here on the show, pope francis proving he really is the people's pope. after one day on the job, he still paid on hi his own hotel . father jonathan mor morris lookt his humble ways. go to campbellskitchen.com for recipes, plus a valuable coupon. campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. >> with hotwire's low prices, i can afford to visit chicago for my first big race and l.a. for my best friend's wedding. because when hotels have unsold rooms, they use hotwire so i got my hotels for half-price! >> men: ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e ♪ hotwire.com

god? god never gets tired of forgiving us. we on the other hand sometimes get tired of asking for forgiveness. then he repeated that in lots of different ways, saying god never gets tired, and he's been breaking all sorts of norms and just going out to the people and not using notes. it's been fascinating to watch. >> father jonathan morris, we'll let you get back to eating a big plate the pasta in rome. >> i'm working. i'm working. >> you're right. >> but it's wonderful to have you. >> you guys know me. >> thanks so much for the update. >> they've been named the top music artist in the world two times, and they are fantastic, and they're in our studio. celtic thunder performs live coming up. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry.
